I'm delighted to let you know that Chicks Unravel Time is set for release on November 13th and its full table of contents is now out. So you can see all of our essayists and the marvellous titles of their essays at the Mad Norwegian website. Or here, since I'm going to write them in…
Chicon 7
I made it home yesterday from Chicon 7 in very sunny, very humid Chicago. Then I promptly collapsed into bed and slept for an unreasonable amount of time. Thus am feeling not entirely zombie-like, though I do have the remnants of whatever spiffy illness left me stuck in bed for most of Saturday. Some…
The First Man On The Moon
After hearing about the death of Neil Armstrong, I went to the NASA website to have a look at some pictures of the Apollo 11 spaceflight. They're magical stuff, space pictures. And it still seems such a strange and wonderful thing that humanity put some people in a wee metal box, lit an enormous explosion…
Stuff on Mars
So NASA's Curiosity Rover has landed on Mars and it's all Terribly Exciting, and here is an EXCLUSIVE PHOTO of what they have discovered:
The Cup of Tea of Death
Yes, the blogging daily thing has worked out brilliantly I can see. Never mind. For instead of typing nonsense on the Internet I was away in Glasgow, land of rain - cold unpleasant endless rain - visiting my lovely sister. Well, I say lovely, but SECOND THOUGHTS were had on this visit. For, you see,…

Secret Underground Volcano Bases
I've always wanted a secret underground volcano base. Okay, that's not quite true: I've always loved the idea of having a secret underground volcano base. The problem is, if I was to ever get one, I suspect I'd spend most of my time flailing around demanding to know what the magma's doing and living in…
Chicks Unravel Time
So here's the lastest fantastic anthology coming from Mad Norwegian Press, Chicks Unravel Time: Our gorgeous cover, by the wonderful Katy Shuttleworth. From the Mad Norwegian Press website: "The sister book to the 2011 Hugo Award-winning Chicks Dig Time Lords… In Chicks Unravel Time, Deborah Stanish (Whedonistas) and L.M. Myles bring together a host of…
The obligatory Exciting First Post
This is a very exciting post where I'm making a shiny RL blog thing to talk about writing and pro-ish projects and try and make, dare I say it, thoughtful posts as opposed to what I usually do when blogging. I hope those people who said nice things about WordPress weren't fibbing to me. It…
